It’s week two of summer vacation in my nanny house, and I feel like a haggard parent to three. Juggling what each kid needs while managing who is throwing a tantrum, and trying not to take their kid jabs to heart when I have to lay down the law— it is wearing me out. Kudos…
The D Word
To be honest, internet, I’ve been on the struggle bus lately. And, for the sake of this post (despite how uncomfortable admitting it is), I need to name that my struggle bus is called “depression.” To be more honest, I fear that by typing that word, I’m loosing a lot of your attention. The truth…
The Price of Progress
Alright all, I’m pumping the breaks on the letters. Who knows if that series will resurface, but I’m feeling too restricted by them at the moment. I don’t tolerate restrictions well. I’ve been feeling starved of blog posts. More-so starved of creativity, I suppose. I’ve felt too trapped with myself, and like my fear of…

I remember explaining that to my boyfriend in high school. He noticed that something was off about me one morning, and that was the…

On This Day In History
Exactly a year ago, my life got pretty awesome. Today marks one year of employment with my kick-ass nanny family. If you missed out on the post explaining how I started with them, you can find it here. I wasn’t feeling particularly sentimental about it, but then I got to work; and, the girls were…
Thoughts on Friends Pt.1
Scorpio date on Friday was fun, but it’s going to be a no-go. I was not feeling him. While I was trying to cope with my discomfort, I made friends. Little background– we went to an arcade bar, (it was super cool) but the guy was trying to use quarters instead of tokens; so, nothing…
